We’ve spoken with many clients about taxes, and one thing is clear: most investors want to pay less. We understand that concern, which is why we’ve dedicated ourselves to building a practice that addresses your tax planning needs. We use a variety of strategies, including tax-loss harvesting, Roth conversions, and Social Security tax planning, to help you make the most tax-efficient investment decisions. Tyler Cottle is a valuable member of our team, bringing his accounting expertise from Grand Valley State University to design personalized plans that help clients keep more of their hard-earned money. Our clients appreciate having a plan that not only prioritizes their best interests but also works to minimize the taxes they pay, so they can keep more of their wealth where it belongs—right in their pockets.
Income is a top priority for many when planning for retirement, and we understand the concerns that come with it. Common questions we address daily include: Will I outlive my money? How much income can I safely withdraw? How should I claim Social Security?
We specialize in creating personalized retirement income plans that answer these tough questions. It’s incredibly rewarding to show our clients exactly how much they can withdraw and how long their income will last. The relief they feel when they know they can rely on a steady income for life is truly priceless. With the right income plan in place, retirement becomes something to look forward to, not something to fear. By designing a plan that meets your specific needs, we can eliminate the worry of running out of money or struggling to meet your financial obligations, giving you the peace of mind to enjoy your retirement the way you’ve always dreamed.
Social Security has become a large focal point in our practice. With over 2,700 rules in the Social Security program, our mission is to optimize your Social Security. We use a computer program to calculate hundreds of options to claim and identify the most beneficial choices to draw the most money out of Social Security. We provide a seminar just about every month that offers little known information on how to claim your benefits. We cover the Bipartisan Budget act of 2015 and how these phase outs can affect how you claim. We also cover how drawing off of your spouse’s Social Security may offer more income if you don’t have enough working credits. Another aspect we go over is how to coordinate spousal benefits and provide more income for the surviving spouse when one of you passes away. With many people asking if they should claim their income earlier or later, we have great information that addresses which may be the best direction for them.
We pride ourselves in offering an enjoyable investment experience from the moment you interact with your firm and throughout the many years we will be serving you. It is important to not only be educated to understand what is happening with your investments, but to also enjoy an atmosphere where paying attention to you and your account is our number one priority. As fiduciaries, your success is our standard.
